TURVILLE in Buckinghamshire is the stereotypically pretty English village, appearing as Dibley in The Vicar of Dibley, as well as Foyle’s War, the ‘Miss Marple’ films (as St Mary Mead), Midsomer Murders and other television programmes needing an attractive background for dark deeds. Nearby Cobstone Windmill was home to Caractacus Potts and his family in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
